Bill > HB2722

This bill modifies Oregon Revised Statute 802.600 to change how the Department of Transportation (ODOT) works with external providers for vehicle-related services. Specifically, the bill replaces "may" with "shall" regarding ODOT's ability to enter into agreements with qualified providers, making such agreements mandatory rather than optional. The bill defines two key terms: "integrators" (entities that provide information, supplies, and collect/remit money for providers) and "qualified providers" (which include community colleges, education service districts, and other non-ODOT entities). The legislation allows these providers to conduct various functions on behalf of ODOT, including vehicle-related transactions, fee processing, and driver license testing. Providers can charge additional fees for their services, and ODOT retains the right to establish eligibility criteria, conduct audits, and impose sanctions. The bill requires ODOT to develop rules for these agreements in consultation with potential providers, while explicitly prohibiting ODOT from setting the specific fees charged by these providers. This change aims to create more flexible and efficient ways for ODOT to deliver vehicle-related services through external partnerships.
